The first art instruction book devoted entirely to coloured pencil as a liquid me¬dium|Readers will learn three distinct painting methods: water-soluble coloured pencil; wax and oil-based coloured pencil with solvents; and wax-based coloured pencil used with a heated surface. (Using a heated surface is an exciting new technique that softens wax-based coloured pencils and other wax-based media to a viscous consistency, similar to traditional opaque painting mediums.) Readers will discover an unlimited variety of creative possibilities, from the painterly style of acrylics and oils, to the loose watercolour look of water-soluble coloured pencils, plus everything in between.
Easy to follow step-by-step demonstrations, teach different techniques and subject, and include specific materials lists and colour pallets. The final chapter will include demonstrations combining the three methods.
